XB1 - Buffer Pedal | Boost Pedal

I am using the Prostage Booster to get extra gain and "oomph" when switching from Rhythm to Lead mode. I love the fact that it does not color or change the tone at all. It′s just what you want from a booster.

The Prostage Buffer / Boost Pedal is a practical problem solver for wiring guitar racks. It can be used for various functions, such as:

As a Guitar Line Driver | Buffer Pedal, meaning the first device in the signal chain to compensate for the sound loss due to long guitar cables.

For impedance matching in a single loop for an effects unit with incompatible input impedance *.

In a loop of the XDS | XLS as a simple solo boost pedal.

The booster does not have an On/Off switch.

* Impedance:
The input impedance of guitar amplifiers usually is 1Mega ohms. Effects units mostly have a much lower impedance. Since devices from different manufacturers often have different impedances, that can lead to the following problem:

If only one or the other effects unit is switched on, everything is OK. If, however, several effects are turned on in a certain order, the guitar signal is suddenly quieter and loses transparency, even each effects unit is set correctly. This problem is located in the incompatible impedance. The Prostage Booster | Impedance Matcher solves this problem.
